The Peoples Democratic Party caucus in the House of Representatives has threatened President Muhammadu Buhari with impeachment if he fails to address the crisis rocking the Niger Delta Development Commission and the EFCC.

The PDP caucus also condemned the face-off between the legislature and the executive on the recruitment of 774,000 Nigerians for public works, likening the jobs to Automated Teller Machines.

The chairman of the caucus, Mr. Kingsley Chinda, in a statement on Sunday, asked the leadership of the National Assembly to take back the independence of the parliament from the executive arm of government.

Chinda said,

Further, and in light of the foregoing, we give the executive four weeks to provide security to Nigerians and commence proper cleaning of the embarrassing and notorious corruption cases – (in the) EFCC and NDDC – or we shall revert to the relevant sections of the constitution and commence impeachment proceedings in the interest of Nigeria and Nigerians.
